I am definitely missing something. I went back to the water tower and started from there. I have the crowbar and all the stuff from the jail. I released Brian and went to the garage (thru the sewer) picking up the dead rat. Brian just seems to stay at the end of the alley behind the garage. Hasn't said anything about a broach. And I haven't seen Mackey though I've been in the garage and gotten the ammo and med kit and some kind of green box under the stairs. The door to garage will not stay open and Jack says he will have to lead Brian thru the sewer I've been through that and still Brian stays at the end of the alley. I don't know what to do now. nu2gaming

You have to lead Brian through the sewer. I don't know why he won't follow you. Did you talk to him? I had him at the save point for a while and then he followed me. The Call of Cthulhu board is closed temporarily or you could maybe get help there. Maybe they are going to fix the search function--or maybe down for good.

Pokey; I finally got Brian to follow me. I have him in the garage working on the truck. I've talked to Mackey and gotten the broach. Yay!!!!

EDIT: I'm in the cannery. I have the tommy gun and all the stuff from the cannery. At the window to the save/star I looked in my inventory and didn't see the crowbar so I used the shotgun and shot out the window. Got the save now I'm in the icehouse looking for the keys. I climbed up the ice shoot and got the green box (that's the second one, by the way, what are they)? But have not located the keys. nu2gaming

No good Pokey; I've crouched and crawled under boxes tried jumping on boxes (I do get to one point where it looks like I need to crawl under some more boxes but Jack won't move there). I can see a ladder I can see what looks like doors but no matter what I do I can't get there. nu2gaming

Pokey; I don't have the vaguest idea how I got into the room to get the keys, but I did. Unfortunately Ruth died before I could get to her. And Brian died in a truck crash. I have now been taken over by Herbert Hoover and am in the refinery. (Would you believe that?) I think I will leave Jack there happily blowing creatures to bits, while I get some shut eye. nu2gaming

One thing about the refinery - make sure you search the office area before you go forward. You will not be able to get back in there after a while. Behind the door is a gun you definitely want -- trust me! Too bad about Ruth. But they were doomed anyway.

Good Morning; Been at this for a couple of hours. Not making a lot of progress. Did get weapons, ammo, etc. Repaired generator and am looking for save point which is supposed to be in ore processing can't find it. Did get to bucket control and pushed button. This is where I'm stuck. Do you jump in a bucket here or somewhere else? I keep falling down one level which seems to lead nowhere. I always wind up reloading and repeating up to this point. nu2gaming

You get on the bucket very near a save point, which is back just past where you got the belt to repair the generator. I had trouble getting on the bucket. Just keep trying. You jump off the bucket right after it passes the bucket control.

OK. Is there some certain place in the bucket you need to stand? I've gotten as close to center of the edge and as close to the edge as I can. No matter what I wind up in the dam----room down below. I can not tell you how many times I've made this trip. nu2gaming
